If anyone watches this or if anyone already has the soundtrack, could you
tell me if it's "crime jazz".  It's by my hero Kenyon Hopkins and I've seen
the vinyl reissue around but I don't want to buy it unless it's at least
sort of in the crime jazz genre.

Sem Sinatra did me a tape,  I can't imagine anyone wanting to give it away
(theres a home on the south coast for a copy anyone in the UK wants to
swap).  I'd say pay the full price,  don't worry about it.  A great record.

                            *Masaru Sato



    TOKYO (AP) -- Masaru Sato, the music director for filmmaker Akira



Kurosawa, died Sunday after falling ill at a party in his honor,



media reports said. He was 71.



    Sato, who wrote the music for such Kurosawa films as ``Red



Beard,'' ``Sanjuro,'' and ``Yojinbo,'' with its samurai battles,



died shortly after arriving at a hospital in Tokyo, the Asahi



newspaper said.



    The cause of death was not immediately known.



    Sato began his career in 1952 after graduating from music school



in Tokyo. He wrote the music for ``Godzilla Raids Again'' in 1955



and began working with Kurosawa in 1957.



    Kurosawa died in September 1998 at age 88.











                            *Keith Wylie



    LONDON (AP) -- Master croquet player Keith Wylie, who treated the



gentle lawn sport as a cerebral challenge, died Nov. 1 at his home



near Southhampton in southwest England. He was 54.



    The cause of death was not given.



    Wylie, a lawyer, was an innovative player who brought croquet



out of the quiet confines of the vicarage garden and placed it



firmly in the competitive arena. He played with flair and



enthusiasm, adding a distinctive pith helmet to the traditional



white croquet outfit.



    He first took up the game at King's College, Cambridge. Within



five years he captured all the major British titles and several



international ones.



    Wylie wrote ``Expert Croquet Tactics,'' in 1985, a book that the



American magazine ``Croquet World'' described as ``without



question, the most significant croquet book published in the last



20 years.''







December 7, 1999



Anne Francine, Actress and Cabaret Singer, Dies at 82







Anne Francine, an actress who worked in film, theater and television



and who was also a prominent cabaret performer for six decades,



died on Friday at the Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in London,



Conn. She was 82 and lived in Old Lyme, Conn.







Born into Main Line Philadelphia society, Miss Francine came of age



during the 1930's, when New York's numerous intimate night spots



offered opportunities for beginners. With her imposing good looks,



bawdy humor and raspy contralto, she made her performing debut at the



Coq Rouge, after winning an amateur contest, and went on to



engagements at the Pierre, the Persian Room, the Copacabana and the



Algonquin.







In the mid-1940's she traveled abroad, singing in late-night haunts in



London and Paris. Impeccably mannered and beautifully spoken, she



centered her programs on the flippant high-society songs of Cole Porter



and Jerome Kern, inserting comedic gestures often funny enough to bring



the house down.







Miss Francine made her Broadway debut in 1954 with Shirley Booth in



"By the Beautiful Sea" before going on to work with Alfred Lunt and



Lynn Fontanne in "The Great Sebastians" the next season. In the



A.P.A.-Phoenix Repertory Company production of "The School for



Scandal" she stepped in for a vacationing Helen Hayes. But her favorite



role was that of Vera Charles in the 1966 Broadway production of



"Mame," starring Angela Lansbury. She and Ms. Lansbury reprised their



characters in the 1983 revival. Ms. Francine last appeared on Broadway



in 1987 as Mrs. Harcourt in the Lincoln Center revival of "Anything



Goes," starring Patti LuPone.







Miss Francine's film work included "Crocodile Dundee" and Fellini's



"Juliet of the Spirits." On television she was best known for her portrayal



of the conniving matriarch Flora Simpson Reilly in "Harper Valley



P.T.A.," with Barbara Eden, in the early 1980's.







A frequent performer on the summer stock circuit, Miss Francine was a



regular presence at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford,



Conn., where she taught at the annual cabaret symposium. Even after a



1992 stroke left her unable to speak, she would instruct students by



pantomiming her commands or writing them on an erasable box designed



for that purpose.







No immediate relatives survive.

Subject: (exotica) See It in Sound!

See It In Sound is another fantastic Esquivel album.   The Brazil cut is
amazing and could have been a huge influence on music if it were released and
promoted well by its label.   I would like to imagine Brian Wilson, Hendrix
and the Beatles trying to out do this song. This album reminded me about how
much I really like Esquivel.

I have been playing all my Esquivel cds, including 1968/Genius.   I cannot
imagine life without all of the Esquivel albums.  Everyone of his albums is a
winner.  The 2fers cds are such a bargain and everyone should get them before
they go out of print.  I was told they are selling quite poorly.  Each of
them is so revealing and it is so nice to hear the abums as a whole instead
of a  greatest hits collection.     The  Barnone collections were a nice
introduction but certainly not the real thing.  Give me the whole album of an
artist this magnificant.

The record industry misses another chance to use the most knowlagble person
for the liner notes.  As usual, what a shame.

Subject: (exotica) Tito!  My Man!

Tito Puente always packs em  like sardines  at the House of Blues in New
Orleans.    He played there a few years back and during one of the hotter
moments his false teeth shot out of his mouth and onto the stage floor.  He
barely missed a beat.

The House of Blues is very disneyesque and for that reason it has a bad
feeling for many of the club goers in the Big Easy.

Until recently, most of their releases were unavailable in the US, but
we've recently started distributing their titles.  (Not to toot my own horn
- - well, ok, I guess I am - but they're putting out some amazing bits of
American music culture that can't be found on many US labels.  And the Rare
Shellacks that Arjan mentions are wonderful.  List members might be
interested in the La Paloma covers by Paaluhi Hawaiian Instrumentalists,
Dean Martin, Humphrey Bogart (!), and Esquivel among others.  Rumor has it
that they aren't stopping at vol. 3 but rather will continue with something
like 25 mind-boggling compilations of the *same song*!)  Our mailorder is
still being worked on, but if your friendly, neighborhood record shop isn't
carrying Trikont stuff, you can always get them at Other Music
(www.othermusic.com).

On another topic, a friend of mine is looking for different versions of
"Java" for his radio show. Any suggestions? thanks.

The great label Silva has released a 4cd box set for Twilight Zone for $29 on
sale at cdnow.  Fantastic!  Check out  the Silva label at cdnow and see other
great releases like Alien Invasion (a wild collection of remakes of great
sci-fi classics).

Also Varese has a new 2 cd Twilight Zone out. It looks great!  And where is
that new Outer Limits collection vol 2 which was promised on Vol 1??

While we are on Alien topics,  Rhino Records is putting togethor a 4 or 5 cd
set of outer space sci-fi  to be released hopefully soon.  I know that  Jack
Diamond  taught Rhino  about 20 or so cuts & they will be putting his
selections on the box set.  Jack told Rhino about  Attilio Mineo conducts
"Man in Space with Sounds" and cut(s) from that will be on the Rhino set.
What an amazing world this would be if major labels listened to exoticats and
former exoticats opinions of what should be on an album.

Hmmm, sounds like that neighborhood to me. Just getting little snippets in

i think you should get it Nat, especially if Kenyon is your man.  Not really
a "crime jazz" soundtrack, but this is such a hot, steamy, moody film and a
number of the tracks will deliver the sound you're looking for.  I'd be
surprised if you were disappointed.

It's quite a mixture, smoky jazz, harmonica, and be prepared for some strings
from the Warner Bros. Orchestra. with Ray Heindorf.

And whotta cover!  This movie still sizzles (without so much as a single kiss
if I remember right), even by today's standards.

 it's Michel Magne

 Really, really hard to find and really, really good!!

 Best bet for aquiring it is the bootleg paired with The Marrko Polo
Adventures that came out a few years back.

 I always thought of this as a "spoof" on exotica.  But not a comedy or
novelty record at all - far from it!  A really great exotic and wild
percussion recording with many familiar titles, Brazil, Perfidia, Tabu, The
Peanut Vendor.

 What sets it apart is the usual tropical sounds and Martin Denny style bird
calls are replaced with laughing, sped up voices, ducks (donald duck?),
animal (apes) noises and other insane sound effects - lots and lots of them.

 One of a kind !  Get it!!

Subject: (exotica) Momus live at Atomic Cafe, Munich

Saw Momus last night... mixed feelings about it.

Was a very long gig, about 2 hours. He used a brand new i-book, a
"jen"-synth and a mike. The songs ranged from 80s influenced electronic
pieces to scottish folk music. He even rapped like the Beasty Boys or
sang ballads with Rick Wakeman-string-sounds. I liked quite a couple of
songs, but often they sounded more like the sketch of a song. It always
amazes me how English artists in general seem to be able to express
themselves in melodies. Momus as a figure reminded me of Simon
Fisher-Turner, a slim dandy with a good cultural education and general
knowledge. Momus was very talkative to the audience in a nice and funny
way.

Although I didn't understand all of the lyrics, they had some refreshing
subjects, like "Space Jews", a song about Einstein, Freud etc. described
as angels from outer space coming to earth to lift up mankind. One song
was a praise of his new i-book, which he described as the most beautiful
thing in the world and his only friend. He said, Macintosh does not pay
him for singing this. I could truly understand the message of this song
though, as the desirability of these computers is almost sexual. About
another song about Jeff Koons, "the greatest artist of all times" or so,
he said he had made it on behalf of Koons, but he never got paid the
1000 $ by him. And... but, well, the songs are all on his records, I
guess.
This Japanese woman, who sings "I'm a kitten" in that "Everlasting
Gobstopper" version, was also on stage once and addressed all "gays with
girlfriends": "You can meet me, I will protect you forever". ?!?

All things considered the concert was a bit long and many of the songs
were just too rough to be fully enjoyable. Still it was worth going
there and see that one-eyed wizard in person.

This would be Kahimi Karie. Who is a Goddess. Whose music defies description
in amazing Japanese pop. If you don't know her, you should.

                      *''Scatman John'' Larkin
    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Musician ``Scatman John'' Larkin, who blended
jazz with modern pop and hip-hop dance music, lost a two-year
battle with lung cancer. He was 57.
    The BMG recording artist died Dec. 3 at his Los Angeles home,  his stepson, Lee Newman, said Tuesday.
    Larkin became a successful singer even though he was a lifelong
stutterer. His work combined singing, rapping and scat, a jazz
style involving singing nonsense syllables.
    He was popular on the European and Asian charts.

NO.  That was Karin Komoto, who is one of the patrons on Stars
Forever.  She is following them on their European tour.  She's
not Japanese, she's Japanese-American.  The "gays with girlfriends"
bit is a reference to the song about her.

I don't believe Kahimi Karie is performing with them on the
European tour.

I don't think that was her singing as Everlasting Gobstopper, tho.
That was some 13-year-old girl.

Your Tiki Gods are watching over you Mo!  You are one lucky guy to catch
Momus,  one of the leaders of the modern soft pop movement.  And it is doubly
nice to see him with Kahimi Karie, who I agree with Jill, was the Japanese
girl.  I also trust Jill's opinion, since I understand she met Kahimi.    I
have her and I believe its  the original version, of "I Am Akitten" and it is
fantastic as is most of her stuff.  What a voice!  She goes back a ways also.
 I have a cd from Japan where she sings My Good Friend Charly, I believe, and
its dated in the 80's.

Easy listening in the Big Easy
